Discovery Task 8

This project was interesting, as it required more than just drawing the scene out. For this I decided to go to the movies with my friends Jake and Matt. I used pictures inside and outside a movie theater as backgrounds to make it clear where my friends and I are at. I used pieces of a Fandango gift card pack to show who is paying for the tickets. I cut out a piece of an old IHOP receipt to make the point of what place I wanted to eat easier to understand. Only now do I realize how the characterization of myself in the comic book seems to have an ego, despite I try to lower my ego in real life. To make sure I had the angle I wanted in the printed pictures, I taped down the images to make sure they didn’t fly off the page of the sketchbook. This was an interesting experience for me.

Discovery Task 8: Collage Comic

I graduated from Marjory Stoneman Douglas in 2014. This is the high school that teen film writers strive to capture. You can find your place at Douglas virtually anywhere, and my place was Douglas Drama. After the tragedy on February 14, 2018 I am not only incredibly proud to say “I went to Stoneman Douglas” but “I was one of those kids once.” The current students are making a change and rising from the chaos that took place. Change is now. 

This collage comic is largely inspired by Lynda Barry’s style of comics. I used a repetition of the background with the words “never again.” and wrote the 17 victims names in memoriam.  I incorporated news headlines, screen caps of speeches, my own personal memories at Douglas and a logo for the March for Our Lives event to cultivate this current event. I sketched characters to represent four outspoken students who are striving for a change. I then used speech bubbles to quote the four individuals. Above all else, I think this collage comic came together to represent this moment in time.

So, I work at the Hogwarts castle in Universal’s Wizarding World. For guests that do not want to ride the ride, we take the time to give them personal castle tours. We take them through these rooms and areas of the castle and give them some background and fun facts of the Harry Potter fiction that they may not have known. They get a big kick out of it. 

I used this for my map, using the “marauders map” in the series as inspiration. Ex: using the footprints to show a path.
